As sure as summer turns to fall, there are some stories that are dusted-off and rehashed at a certain point of the year.
There's the back-to-school helicopter-parents stories, the "what's the next got-to-have-it toy for Xmas", and the ever popular FOXNEWS stories on "the War on Christmas" (It starts earlier and earlier every year. It's sad, really, the commercialization of the War on Christmas.)
The other chestnut is "OMG look how whorish the girls' Halloween costumes are!" Now, being a virile, warm blooded man, I can say I have no problem with the costumes, and think if a woman wants to dress sexily, so be it1. If my wife were to dress-up as, say the Sexy Strawberry Doll, I'd be A-OK with that.
I've browsed the costumes (note that there's no "Sexy Man's" costumes) and came up with a couple that are clearly WTF-moments. I mean, the costumes are meant to tittilate either the wearer or the observer, so that means that someone's nether regions got all atwitter over them. I know you can throw a Naughty * or Sexy * in front of anything to make a costume, but W-T-F!?!?
- Sexy Peacock Costume
- Sexy Ghostbuster Costume
- Sexy CSI dress costume
- Sexy Tin Woman, Straw Woman, and Cowardly Lion (I get Dorothy, but the Tin Man)?
- Sexy Viking Girl
- Barista Babe
- Marie Antoinette
Um, what?

Haha, but really those aren’t all that far off what you can see on campus around Halloween time.
Oh and by the way, your first link is going to the wrong place.
Oh, I don’t think it’s that bad – but then again, I’m only here during daylight, non-weekend hours, and I’d say everyone dressed pretty reserved.
